Glacier Frost – Cosmic Warfare Annihilation (2015)

Comment: In fact, the title punctuates poignantly the
content of this 12-track issue by Canadian combo Glacier Frost. Indeed, those
progressions based on tumultuous and skittering guitar chords and expressive
overdrives and intensive and monotonous drumming in the backing will create the
feeling of spaced-out music relied on massive, destructive instrumental workout.
The listener could experience of how death metal and grindcore and speed metal
gears used to interlace with psychedelic echoes. Furthermore, some compositions
are imbued with more keyboard sounds and some spoken word samples where the
harsher undertakings are abandoned in favour of more unconventional
developments. For instance, by considering tracks called To Abduct a Monarch and Underneath
Lunar Light sound almost like chill-out compositions with regard to the
rest of notches. In a nutshell, the result is impressive due to its powerful
approach and striking aesthetics. The issue is a part of the discography of
Viridian Records.
